    Wish I still had my .243. I drilled a T-Post at 120 yards with it on several occasions. Super accurate....

        I had a .308 that I bought at an NRA banquet. I tried six different brands of ammo and it would not shoot any of them well. Pretty gun, sorry shooter. I sold it.

            If you are going to get one then make sure it is from clackamas oregon...the older / original ones are generally much more accurate, better fitting & most certainly hold their value better.

            Going to cost more, but better $$$$ spent...I have a 223 Super America & a 221 fireball. Really well made rifles.

              Several years ago I was in the market for a large caliber rifle in the event that I would ever get the chance to go on a mountain elk or mulie hunt. I originally thought about getting a .338 Lapua but decided that I did not want to spend $4-5 per shot. So a little research led me to the .338 Federal caliber. Not a real long range gun, but looked interesting enough for me. There were only a few companies chambering that round in lightweight rifles and my information pointed me towards Kimber having the best stock design to tame the recoil in a lightweight rifle. My gun topped with a 2 - 8 x 36 Leopold optic only weighs about 6.5 pounds if I recall correctly.

              The gun is quite accurate with several different factory weights and bullet types. I was fortunate to take an awesome Nilgai with it this January and it was a pleasure to carry during the several mile long stalk. One shot with 200 grain Federal Fusion dropped him where he stood.



              So long story short, I can highly recommend the Kimber Montana 84M.

                I have a Kimber Sonora in 25-06. It shoots tight groups. Bolt does fail to catch the live round once in a while if I have don't have a full mag. Nice rifle though.

                    Had a 84 Varmint in 22-250. Nice gun, but was a reloaders nightmare. One of the most pickiest rifles I ever owned. Sold it. No mas Kimber.

                        Yes, I have shot wt and hogs with it. I usually use the 165 grain bullets on wt. Knocks them pretty good, usually DRT and leaves a good blood trail if not. I have it sighted in for a 200 yard zero in anticipation of longer shots on the Nilgai and feel good with a normal hold out to 250 or so. Most of my shots are within 150.

                            I like the sound of this... I'm really tempted to get one just in case I get drawn for nilgai

                            Where are you finding the 165 gr? Closest thing I can find is the double tap with a Barnes in it

                              I have three Kimbers. Two Montana's and a heavy barrel Longmaster. All three shoot well for factory rifles.
